× I like them because it helps me connect with my friends.
✓ I like them because they help me connect with my friends.
The subject 'them' is plural, so the verb should be 'help' instead of 'helps' to agree in number.
× However, they are very addictive and I spent hours on these apps and not know what the time is.
✓ However, they are very addictive and I spend hours on these apps and do not know what time it is.
The sentence mixes past tense 'spent' with present context. 'Spend' fits better as the habit is ongoing. Also, 'not know' is incorrect; it should be 'do not know' for proper negation in present tense.
× To help me cut my time, I usually use apps like Instagram and Messenger so that I can connect with my friends and share my daily moments with them.
✓ To help me save time, I usually use apps like Instagram and Messenger so that I can connect with my friends and share my daily moments with them.
The phrase 'cut my time' is incorrect; the correct expression is 'save time' when referring to reducing time spent.
× And I like to watch how other people are doing from various social medias.
✓ And I like to watch how other people are doing on various social media platforms.
'Social media' is an uncountable noun and does not take 's' for plural. Also, the preposition 'from' is incorrect here; 'on' is appropriate for platforms.
× I find out about different ads through my mobile phone only.
✓ I find out about different apps through my mobile phone only.
The question is about apps, but the student says 'ads' which is likely a mistake. Also, 'find out about' is correct, but the object should be 'apps' to match context.
× Well, some of them are recommended to me by my friends or, umm, maybe I saw them in some schools or places I visit.
✓ Well, some of them are recommended to me by my friends or, umm, maybe I saw them in some schools or places I have visited.
The phrase 'places I visit' should be in present perfect 'places I have visited' to indicate past experiences relevant to the present.
× Uh, if I find that attractive.
✓ Uh, if I find it attractive,
This is a sentence fragment; it needs to be connected to the next clause or completed. Also, 'that' should be 'it' referring to the app.
× If I find the quality attractive, I just download it and uh, start to use it.
✓ If I find the quality attractive, I just download it and, uh, start using it.
The phrase 'start to use it' is acceptable but 'start using it' is more natural. Also, the sentence is fine structurally but the previous fragment needs correction.
× I haven't really thought about it, but if I had to use, umm, some apps in the future, I would like it to be more connecting apps, uh, to which, uh, I can talk to my friends in a long distance without any Internet connection.
✓ I haven't really thought about it, but if I had to use, umm, some apps in the future, I would like them to be more connecting apps, uh, through which I can talk to my friends over a long distance without any Internet connection.
'I would like it' should be 'I would like them' to agree with plural 'apps'. 'To which' is awkward; 'through which' is better. Also, 'in a long distance' should be 'over a long distance'.
